(To borrow from Cowbee's comment a bit) Wealth inequality was far lower in the Soviet Union's socialist system than the Tsarist system before it, the capitalist system after it was overthrown (obviously), and than western capitalist countries in the same time period.

Funny you focus on whatever this is and conveniently ignore the millions murdered by the state.
I'm here because my family escaped that shit.
Is it a bad thing to highlight that wealth disparity dramatically shrank in the USSR and dramatically increased in the Russian Federation?
Are you referring to Nazi sympathizers, the Tsarist White Army, or Capitalist insurgents?
Wealth disparity is a hilarious metric to use when everyone was poor.
Incorrect. On top of having free healthcare, education, and lower retirement ages than the US, GDP rose rapidly.
GDP has something to do with personal wealth?!... hmmm
GDP Per Capita.
Wealth disparity lowered, GDP Per Capita raised. Where do you think this went?
Explain the lie, please. Do you disagree with anything I have said, and have sources to back you up?
No response, eh?
